Look at ZFS. Supports snapshots, SMB and NFS. And you can show the snapshots as a read-only directory to users.

If you're happy with your WRT54GL apart from its wireless performance, just get a new AC Wireless Access Point (WAP) without the router. Then just turn off the wireless in the WRT54GL.

Unless you've got an internet connection exceeding 100 Mbps, there's no need to get a new router. The router should be at the border of your network supplying your internet connection and perhaps a few DMZ-type services.

Wireless does not have to be part of the router, contrary to popular belief.

I always love the kind of comments this kind of question brings up. "What kind of x technology should I show my kids?" The response? "Don't show them anything. Shove them outside until it's dark. It never did me any harm." At no point does the question say "instead of going outside". Too much 'outside' is a bad thing. Homework/studies will suffer. Everything in moderation. What if it's raining? Or dark at 4pm in the winter months? Back on topic, show them some old stuff. It might inspire them to want/create something other than FPSs and violence.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. All the people I've met that say they can "program" a little over simplify timescales and cost. They also write code poorly and are convinced it's production ready.

In the UK, you'd be short-changed -- a UK pint is 568ml.

Another case for standardisation to the metric system. Just as long as I can order a 568ml beer :)

I think someone's exploited your sarcasm filter. Best get Sony to remove it completely for you.

I've bought around 20 games for mine, not including PSN titles. And I run Linux. I'm sure I'm not alone in the geek that plays games camp.

In UK and EU law, EULAs cannot override the statutory rights of consumers enshrined in law. Lots of people (including myself) bought a PS3 to play games and install Linux. Both were advertised features at the time. Sony shouldn't be able to hold either one of them to ransom.
